Fantoche festival 13 – Kandid (Wall Trope) exposé à Baden, Suisse

Picture and sound have been part and parcel of the cinema for quite some time now. But this was not always the case. Back in the days of silent films, the music was performed live. Fantoche combines this bygone form – silent films accompanied by music – with the new – GIFs – and brings this unique cinematic experience for the second time for its latest edition of the #gif #fantoche curated film event. GIFs are short animations, at times psychedelically bizarre, at times witty or savage. A dynamic scene of GIF productions has emerged on the Internet, and Fantoche provides a stage for this scene. The animations are accompanied live in Baden – once by the mastermind DJ and sound artist Bit-Tuner, and once by Obertonstruktur der Kaulquappe – creating a new audiovisual experience on the big screen for the eye, ear and brain.
